Sharon Shenker

Matrimonial/Divorce Coach

I am dedicated to helping prevent family breakdowns, but when I can’t accomplish that I will help my client(s) maneuver through, adjust to, heal from, and thrive despite their separation or divorce… with as little damage or baggage as possible.

I had to divorce many years ago, when I was 27, and my daughters were only two and four years old. I raised them on own, even while going to university. One of them became a paralegal for a family law firm and the other a Youth Worker, working with children in group homes.

I believe in families sticking together when they can, with each person equally empowered and emotionally well-adjusted – so that they can become the best they can be! I also believe that when two people have tried everything possible to improve their relationship connection but one still wants to leave, they must do so in a manner that does not hurt any children involved.

Experience:

After many years of running a daycare center I felt it necessary to get involved with the whole family to try to help make things easier on the children, so I went back to university to get the education and qualifications that would assist me in working a bit differently than Marriage & Family therapists can.

I finally opened Divorce Support Plus in 1999 and have proudly saved many marriages and prevented many wars!

My motto is “family reconstruction not family destruction!”

My passion is to save and repair relationships by helping couples rekindle their love connection, but if that isn’t possible, I work with as many members of the family as is possible to prevent or end the wars that so commonly destroy families of separation or divorce. My goal is to assist each member of every family that comes to me to thrive despite relationship problems.
